• You’ve spent a minute in the music biz now. Does it strike you as a place where good ideas flourish?

Absolutely not. It’s probably the worst industry that I have ever come across. I thought Hollywood was crazy. The music industry, it needs to start over. Conflicts of interest abound. Archaic mentalities. Crooks and criminals! It’s an abusive industry, and I really feel for artists that have to come up in it.

• Was that a surprise to discover?

It was kind of shocking. I don’t want to get too specific, but even in crafting our own deals for soundtracks with labels or artists, it would be so convoluted. And finding out how artists were treated at other labels…

“Archaic mentalities”

Definitely not wrong. It’s probably why she winded up using Tyler and Frank a lot of the time too

Back at it again, comrade?

You think you get rich and powerful by playing nice?

Her show was basically an indie/ratchet playlist half the time

We know this

Hadn’t Zendaya said something like this before too

plenty of decent people out there who get in those positions

Hardly any name? You saying Issa doesn’t have a name??

“Why are people with reputations not speaking out against the system they gained their reputation through?”

bootlickers abt to go OT itt

Ummm Issa Rae is a pretty big name fam

9.9 out of 10 people have no idea who she is lol

I believe it
